Homesick Adventures - JRPG cartoon
Project Overview
Homesick Adventures is an original JRPG inspired comedy animation series started in 2017. It follows the adventures of Hiro who, after being kicked out on his 18th birthday, finds a mysterious talking tome who's magical power is rivaled only by its potty mouth. Together they meet a menagerie of crazy characters and utterly fail in the basics of being adventuring heroes. Watch them embark on their quest to stop an evil entity from conquering the world... but more importantly, not starving to death in the process...
Though the series is, at it's heart a satire, everyone working on it strives to make a great product. Besides comedy, we employ moments of drama, action and beauty and every element added to each episode needs to match that artistic range. Everyone working on the project always brings their A-game so that we can make the best project we can!
But at the end of the day, we still want to have fun and make something really cool!

Kakato Itten is based off the brooding anime character trope. His voice should fall somewhere between irreverent and depressed. As this character is a parody of emo anime characters, his voice should be over the top depressing to the point of comedy.
The show lampoons English dubs of Japanese anime , so this character should embody a standard north American accent. Kakato is an ancient being, 500+ years old, but his voice should reflect someone in their mid 20s to late 30s. He is despondent, distant and the only feeling he knows is angst.

Kakato is a sorcerer working for the great evil of the world of Homesick. He seeks to serve his master and thwart the protagonists, but he also has his own goals and agenda that don't always align with his overlords. Kakato casts his magic through the use of magic words that resemble a combination of Latin and Arabic
Kakato is a new character that is planned to be a regular recurring staple of the series. If selected for this role, expect to be contacted for future work voicing the character!

Kakato Itten, here to serve and worship you: Sultan Alrouh, Spirit Lord of the world.
Let's get this done and stop the nightmares of my tragic past...
*screaming in agony* ARAARRRRGHGH!!! This pain... almost makes me forget... my backstory...
Chitoge Kawaguchi is based off the anime trope known as tsundere.
She is brash, quick to temper, always speaks her mind, but betrays a softer side.
As this series is a parody of Japanese anime and RPG tropes, her being a trope character is part of the joke.
Her voice is inspired by English dubs of Japanese anime and takes on a neutral American accent of a 17 year old girl. Her voice should have some punch to it as she is the type of person to call someone an idiot to their face; but can still take on a "girly" sensibility.

Chitoge is cursed with the ability to transform into a demon form when enraged. This increases her already immense natural strength, gives her super speed and the ability to shoot fire. When in this form her voice takes on a gruff and gravely quality. Think a death metal lead singer.
Chitoge is considered one of the main characters of the series and appears in almost every episode. If selected for this role, expect to be contacted for future work voicing the character!

Homesick Adventures borrows heavily from middle eastern folklore, often referencing the likes of 1001 Arabian Nights. However, no one working on the project is of Middle Eastern decent or is familiar with the subtleties of said folklore. We want to not only make something cool, but also respect and properly represent the cultures we reference.
We are looking for someone who can not only help translate certain phrases into Arabic, but also someone versed in the various cultures of the middle eastern region. We will share with you the characters and early scripts we are working on, and you will help guide us to not only be more accurate, but possibly think of cool ideas and references we didn't even think of!
